Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

Pull networking changes from David S Miller:

1) Remove the ipv4 routing cache. Now lookups go directly into the FIB
trie and use prebuilt routes cached there.

No more garbage collection, no more rDOS attacks on the routing
cache. Instead we now get predictable and consistent performance,
no matter what the pattern of traffic we service.

This has been almost 2 years in the making. Special thanks to
Julian Anastasov, Eric Dumazet, Steffen Klassert, and others who
have helped along the way.

I'm sure that with a change of this magnitude there will be some
kind of fallout, but such things ought the be simple to fix at this
point. Luckily I'm not European so I'll be around all of August to
fix things :-)

The major stages of this work here are each fronted by a forced
merge commit whose commit message contains a top-level description
of the motivations and implementation issues.

2) Pre-demux of established ipv4 TCP sockets, saves a route demux on
input.

3) TCP SYN/ACK performance tweaks from Eric Dumazet.

4) Add namespace support for netfilter L4 conntrack helpers, from Gao
Feng.

5) Add config mechanism for Energy Efficient Ethernet to ethtool, from
Yuval Mintz.

6) Remove quadratic behavior from /proc/net/unix, from Eric Dumazet.

7) Support for connection tracker helpers in userspace, from Pablo
Neira Ayuso.

8) Allow userspace driven TX load balancing functions in TEAM driver,
from Jiri Pirko.

9) Kill off NLMSG_PUT and RTA_PUT macros, more gross stuff with
embedded gotos.

10) TCP Small Queues, essentially minimize the amount of TCP data queued
up in the packet scheduler layer. Whereas the existing BQL (Byte
Queue Limits) limits the pkt_sched --> netdevice queuing levels,
this controls the TCP --> pkt_sched queueing levels.

From Eric Dumazet.

11) Reduce the number of get_page/put_page ops done on SKB fragments,
from Alexander Duyck.

12) Implement protection against blind resets in TCP (RFC 5961), from
Eric Dumazet.

13) Support the client side of TCP Fast Open, basically the ability to
send data in the SYN exchange, from Yuchung Cheng.

Basically, the sender queues up data with a sendmsg() call using
MSG_FASTOPEN, then they do the connect() which emits the queued up
fastopen data.

14) Avoid all the problems we get into in TCP when timers or PMTU events
hit a locked socket. The TCP Small Queues changes added a
tcp_release_cb() that allows us to queue work up to the
release_sock() caller, and that's what we use here too. From Eric
Dumazet.

15) Zero copy on TX support for TUN driver, from Michael S. Tsirkin.

ethernet: Remove casts to same type

Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.

For example, this cast:

int y;
int *p = (int *)&y;

I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts. I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user.

A function in atl1e_main.c was passed a const pointer
when it actually modified elements of the structure.

Change the argument to a non-const pointer.

A function in stmmac needed a __force to avoid a sparse
warning. Added it.

conflicted on xen_add_extra_mem() updates. The resolution is
trivial as the latter just want to replace

Resolved by applying the chnages from the latter on the moved
file.

letting both add their own options resolves the conflict.

confliected. The former updates function removed by the
